Name

Description

Hosted, scalable database service by Amazon with the data stored in Amazons cloud

A RDF storage and query DBMS, shipped as an optional-use component of the Apache Jena framework

CUBRID is an open-source SQL-based relational database management system with object extensions for OLTP

Embeddable fast key-value storage library that provides an ordered mapping from string keys to string values

Industry standard data logging and graphing tool for time series data. RRD is an acronym for round-robin database.

The data is stored in a circular buffer, thus the system storage footprint remains constant over time.

Primary database model

Document store
Key-value store
